“Public Health - Dayton & Montgomery County has a tough decision to make on whether to move forward with the vaccinations on Tuesday or to reschedule them,” Streck said in a release sent on Sunday. “Although my road patrol deputies will be extra busy if we get the weather that is predicted, my reserve deputies, command and administrative staff have formulated a plan to help our elderly citizens or others who are not comfortable driving in the snow, get to and from their vaccination appointments.”
During severe winter weather, Montgomery County Sheriff Rob Streck said deputies and staff who are not patrolling the roads will provide rides to COVID-19 vaccine appointments.
However, the sheriff’s office is no longer able to accept requests and will not offer to provide rides to vaccine appointments later this week.
Those who do not need to be out while it is snowing are urged to stay home so the road crews can treat and plow roadways. Currently, Montgomery County is at a level 2 snow emergency.
